Abstract excerpt
Inherited retinal dystrophies are Mendelian neurodegenerative conditions classified as pigmentary retinopathies, macular dystrophies and others. Over a 21-year period, from 1990 to 2011, we have screened in Montpellier 107 genes in 609 families and have identified a causal mutation in 68.5% of them. Following a gene candidate approach, we established that RPE65, the isomerohydrolase of the visual cycle, is...
